To all whom t may concern.' I

Be it known that I, BURTT J. HUBBARD, a citizen of the United States,and af resi- I dent voiLl Kokomo, :county of Howard, and `State ofIndiana, have invented'V a certain new anduse'ul WindshieldWVingConstruction; and I do herebydeclare thatthe following is a. full,clear, and exact description Vthereof,referencebeing hadto the accom-ipanying drawings, in which like numerals refer tolike parts Y Thisinvention relates to a wind shield wing construction, andV the chier'object v.thereof is. to improve constructions', which have beenheretofore employed such as that. shown in my' priorV Patent,rk No.'1,380,909

dateddunei, 1921. Y l

'The chief teatureofthe invention resides in' the friction springconstruction associat edjwith the wing supportingrodand the 'mountingsthereon in which 'it ismovable. Such constructiongcauses the relativemove#V ment between the rod and inountingsto be I yieldingly andfrictionally resisted, and

alsoxtakes up'any play Vthat there nia-yjbe betweenA these members and'preventsfany rattle. which there may bev as a result of a had Vitorwearbetween theparts'. Although lthere may be a positive means fortightening the members against relative movement andlockingV them inadjusted position, it is awkward to adjust a wing of this lnature uponloosening the locking lmeansit it hasY j entirely ireemovenient. 'Theproposed con-` V'struction is adaptedV to retain the movable parts infrictional' contact, although they are 4entirely released by thelockingineans,"

so that adjust-ment thereof will be slightly v resisted and they'willberetained in the adkjusted'position byy such irictional means` untillocked. It is the purpose of this invention to provide a simpleconstruction for obtaining such frictional resistanceand tak- .ing upplayl so as tofpreventvrattle.

" i Thefull nature of this invention will be understood Vfrom theaccompa-nyingQdraw-r. following description and.

Associated withthe body portion and seatable in the slot therein isy a bolt 137 and anut 138. The operation of the same is substantially that heretoforedescribed'with reference to the clamp illustrated in Figs. 4E and 8.

The intention claimed is: u

l. In a wind shield wing construction, the

support mounted on said rod7 a rod Supporting member embracing said rod7and a bowed spring positioned between said rod supporting member and rodand extending longitudinally thereof for frictionally engaging the sameJfor resisting relative movement between said rod and member.

2. ln a wind shield wing construction, the

combination of a hinge rod member, a Wing member.

3. In a wind shield wing construction, the combination of a hinge rodmember, a wing support mounted on said rod, a rod supp'oiting memberembracing` said rod, one of said members having an internal recess onthe inner surfacethereof Yadjacent the otherV member, and a yielding`spring mounted in said recess in position to yieldingly engage the samefor irictionally resisting the relative movement between said rod andyinem#V ber. v In Witness whereof, I havehereunto af# fixed my signature.f v A. .g Y
